JohnG 41 Posted October 5, 2009 6498 Unitas, Elgin dial (subdial spacing SLIGHTLY off, but not bothersome to me, though I would just put an Elgin movement in it), Radiomir case, super funky strap: t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted October 5, 2009 That is what I'm talking about!!! Awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted October 5, 2009 That is cool! Maybe not blue hands, though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted October 5, 2009 That is cool! Maybe not blue hands, though? I kinda like them, but silver hands would look cool too. Blue takes courage and that guy has it in spades, that is a BOLD watch, but it totally works. The dial, the strap, fucking ORIGINAL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted October 6, 2009 WOW! Yes, I like the blue hands too - works well with that dial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted October 6, 2009 The subdial spacing just ruins it for me. Otherwise it could have been pretty interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted October 6, 2009 I'm waiting for the JohnG improved version with gen movement and proper spacing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted October 6, 2009 Ya, on closer examation that sub dial does me to. He didn't actualy file a gen dial to do that did he? If so he should be shot! Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted October 6, 2009 I'm waiting for the JohnG improved version with gen movement and proper spacing... I'm on it! And the strap is a little out there, don't think I could wear it, but it is very cool. It is funny though hearing the word "gay" from Oscar, when he is the king of gay baby-blue straps - eeewwww...... At least this one if totally funky. Nevertheless, I am already looking for a damask embossed leather to use to make a strap for the JohnG version with gen movement!!!! Here is the working watch I am going to snipe for my NEXT project: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the seconds hand just sits on one side of the hole. He can always fix it by swapping in a gen Elgin movement but when he saw the dial it was being sold alone and he already had the movement. It would bug me too but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is an AWESOME combination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P_Diddy 0 Posted October 6, 2009 is that snakeskin? i think the strap is gay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted October 6, 2009 is that snakeskin? i think the strap is gay It is an embossed alligator or croc or something, and he put it at a 45 degree angle so that it would reflect the pattern on the dial. He got in in a scrap bag from Tandy Leather... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pollux1 3 Posted October 15, 2009 KBH's Arnex kicks the shit out of that, hands down. It's nice but not in the same league as his Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
